Bernard Anbataayela Mornah, presidential candidate for the People's National Convention (PNC), is optimistic about being on the ballot for the upcoming December 7 elections.

Mornah is among eleven (11) disqualified presidential aspirants by the EC, explaining that the parties failed to correct errors on their nomination forms.

In an interview on Prime Morning show on Joy Prime however, the PNC flagbearer expressed confidence that he would overcome the current challenges and ultimately be included on the ballot paper.

According to him, the disqualification came as a significant setback for his presidential ambitions, emphasising that it is not the end of the road.

"I have no doubt that we will overcome these challenges and that my name will be on the ballot before the 2024 elections," Mr Mornah stated with conviction.

He asserted that his campaign team had identified and begun addressing the issues highlighted by the EC and reiterated his belief that he and the PNC would complete the necessary corrections in time to secure his place in the election.

He expressed his confidence in the process and noted that his team was in constant communication with the commission to ensure full compliance with all requirements.

“We acknowledge the Electoral Commission's concerns, and we are currently working round the clock to resolve these issues,” Mr Mornah assured.

The Electoral Commission cited several reasons for disqualifying Mornah's candidacy, including issues related to insufficient documentation and questions over some of the endorsements.

According to the EC, these deficiencies rendered the PNC's application non-compliant with the election regulations.

The conversation on Prime Morning covered the implications of Mornah's disqualification and the potential impact on the electoral landscape. The PNC candidate used the opportunity to reassure his supporters that the party remains united and committed to bringing change to Ghana.

He emphasised that the PNC's message of social justice, economic empowerment, and an inclusive government continues to be relevant and resonate with the people of Ghana.

"The enthusiasm and support we have received from Ghanaians are overwhelming, and I am determined to make sure that the PNC is represented on the ballot. We have a responsibility to the people, and we will not back down from this fight. Ghanaians deserve choices, and the PNC is offering a genuine alternative to the status quo," he said.

He expressed gratitude to the PNC's legal team and supporters for rallying behind him during this critical period.

Nonetheless, the EC has yet to provide further comments on the party’s efforts to rectify the issues that led to his disqualification. The battle for inclusion is far from over, and Mr Mornah's determination to contest the presidency reflects his enduring belief in his party's vision for the future of Ghana.
